The sale of pears wholesale will
always be regulated by the law of
rupply and demand In relation to
the prices and quantities of com
petitive fruits. Apples, peaches,
oranges and bananas are always in
demand and from time to time the
prices paid for these fruits reflect
the quantities being offered. The
name thing Is true of our pears.
In a year when production Is high,
the general wholesale price level
Is low: when production is limited
prices go up.

It was my Rood fortune last De

small fruit stand in New York City
and pick out what appeared to le
a large. Juicy Hose poar. lie paid
the retailer 10 cents and before
he had taken 10 steps succeeded in
taking a large bite out of the pear.
That the pear was ready to eat
goes without saying as the Juice
literally dropped to the sidewalk
and the man further corroborated
the full value of he pear by wip
ing off his chin. No belter evi
dence could be offered, and It is
such pears we must tender the

Naturally ,
limited in '
ttcope and character, but I venture
lo say year after year certain va
rieties" of our penra are being pUc-
rd on the market at the wrong
time, absolutely unfit for consump
tion.
The remedy is In our own hand.
The education of the retailer,
wholesaler and distributor must be
gin her and the first step in the
program, naturally. Is to place In
the hands of the trade pears that
TIIK sale of the Three Oaks orvlntnl is not only an intcrest
iii( and important real estate transaction, but it ealls at
tention to the fact that, after twenty years, orchard properties
are "eomint; back."
There have been more important orchard sales since the first
of the year than at any time since the boom days of 1!MO. There
is one striking difference, however. Whereas, twenty years
ano most of the purchases were made by Kasterncrs who had
had no practical experience as farmers or orchardists; the pur
chases today are beinir made by men who, for many years, have
been actively engaged in the fruit-raising business in the Far
West.
In other words, men who know what the fruit business is.
and are still engaged in it, are increasing their holdings; what
might be termed non-participating orchardists arc getting out.
Tin.S is a healthy sign. It shows that those who know most
about the fruit business in Southern Oregon have the
greatest confidence in it. It also shows that the purely speeu
Iative era of the local orchard .business has passed, and the era
of substantial growth and profitable production has arrived.
There is still a great deal to be aeeomplished of course.
But no one knows better than those who went through the
boom days of 1!H0 that the general status f fruit growing
today is in a healthier and more
before in the valley's history.
NOT A HERO,
AVIATOR JEAN ASSOLANT, in the exuberance of safety
and success, proclaims Arthur Schricber, the stowaway
on the Yellow Bird, a typical American boy.
Wc hope not. It took nerve to do what Arthur did, but it
also took selffish thoughtlessness, of a peculiarly dangerous
brand.
Sneaking on that plane, tuned up and equipped for the
weight of only three men, might very well have resulted in the
destruction of the plane and death of everyone on board.
The typical American boy has nerve. lie is willing at ally
time to take chances. But be is seldom the thoughtless egotist
who, when the limelight beckons, can't resist jumping in, even
though such action may bring disaster, not only to himself, but
to innocent parties.
WE like to think the typical American boy lias as much
nerve as Arthur, .but a little better head. That stow
away stunt was really very stupid. A moment's reflection
hy any clear headed lad would have shown that stowing away
on a ship or a dirigible is one thing,; stowing away on a trans
Atlantic airplane "built for three" is decidedly another.
We are glad Arthur came out of it so fortunately, and don'l
begrudge him his good time. But we hope that, EVENTUALLY
he will realize his present fame

"We'll carry away a memory
caravan ut Modford, and of the
wonderful reception accorded us
here, long after we have returned
to our respective homes." said W.
P. Merry, p;int president of the ad
vertising club of Portland and gen
eral chairman of the "On to Oak
land" committee, who, with seven
other passengers, arrived in the
first plane of the caravan, which
stopped over here Saturday noon
for luncheon, sponsored by the
local chamber of commerce. There
were 12 in the entire airplane
caravan.
Considerable regret was express
ed by the delegation over the in
ability of James Stevens, local
singer, to join the caravan. Plans
had been made by the committee
to include "Jim," who Is a mem
ber of the Portland club, In the
party, as the official entertainer
during the convention.
Miss Anna Keil, dark eyed, pe
tite, executive secretary of the Ad
club of Portland, was enthusiastic
over the welcome extended the
caravan by Med ford people. She
said that they hail planned on land
ing at Medford's new airport, but
that the pilot did not care to take
the risk until It was more nearly
completed.
"There are only five clubs In
the state of Oregon that are
branches of the Pacific Advertis
ing Clubs association," she said.
"We are reluctant about extending
them into cities that will not main
tain the progressive spirit of the
association in their local activities."
Miss Kell added that Medford was
not only the type of city that could
support such a club, but that this
city had proved itself an Inspira
tion to the rest of the state, with
the manner in which the local air
port had been put over."
Considerable concern and not
too much publicity was given to the
fact that one member of the cara
van had gotten "sea sick," and had
no desire to leave the plane for
public Inspection. A number of
bis ''fraternity" stood guard at the
door of the cabin, administered
what discreet aid they could, and
loyally diverted the attention of
local onlookers.
